An observational study in Sleep Apnea and Central Sleep Disordered Breathing, sponsored by LivaNova. Terminated at 10 sites in 2 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-04-06.
Sponsored by LivaNova · Observational
The aim of this post market study is to assess the impact of sleep-disordered breathing on the well-being of patients according to the treatment chosen, i.e. with or without implantation of the remedē® system to treat sleep-disordered breathing.
The sponsor of this study, LivaNova, has a partnership with Respicardia, Inc who has developed a battery-powered implantable device that treats central sleep apnea. The device is used with a lead that delivers the stimulation therapy which causes the patient to breathe with a regular rhythm and an optional lead that senses breathing. This combination is called the remedē® system.
The aim of this study is
The information obtained from this study may provide better insight on the symptoms related to central sleep apnea, risk factors related to central sleep apnea therapy and use of the remedē® system which may help to treat other patients with potential sleep disordered breathing more appropriately.
Approximately 300 patients (to be) implanted with the remedē® system will participate in this study at approximately 40 sites in Europe. For this purpose the investigators aim to screen approximately 1500 patients with sleep-disordered breathing. Also patients diagnosed with central sleep apnea, but not receiving the device will be followed through phone calls for 2 years.
1,423 studies on the registry are indexed under Apnea; 160 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 31 is below the median of 106 across 386 observational studies indexed under Apnea.

Patients with central sleep apnea
Inclusion Criteria:
Implant Inclusion criteria
Implant Exclusion Criteria:
For all patients diagnosed with CSA who will not move forward with remedē® system therapy, the intention is to obtain information on their alternate therapy, if any, and safety information, including all cause mortality and all cause hospitalizations during phone calls at 6, 12 and 24 months after enrollment.
For all patients diagnosed with CSA and referred for implant / or have already been implanted with remedē system, information from the implant procedure will be collected. Patients will be asked to complete quality of life questionnaires at baseline and during follow-up visits. Patients will be evaluated at the time of therapy activation which may be followed by one or more titration visits. Patient follow-ups will be programmed at 6 and 12 months, and yearly, up to 5 years post-implant, until the last patients reach their 2-year follow-up. Echocardiogram for patients with reduced ejection fraction (≤ 45%) and follow-up respiratory polygraphy are considered standard of care, however, to ensure sufficient data, related to the study objectives, are being collected, baseline and 12-months echocardiogram for a subgroup of patients and respiratory polygraphy at 12-month follow-up for all patients must be done when participating in this study:
Incidence of All Cause Mortality, SAEs, Stimulation Complaints, Device and/or Cardiovascular Related Events From Implant up to 5 Years.
Collect short and long term clinical data on safety of the remede system implanted in daily practice. This outcome measure was intended to be collected up to 5 years, but at time of early study termination the data were only monitored until 24 months for 1 patient.
Time frame: From implant up to 5 years (collected until 24 month FU)
Change in Apnea-hypopnea Index as Assessed by Polygraphy Compared to Baseline
Evaluate changes in sleep study results at 12 months compared to baseline
Time frame: 12 months post-implant
Impact on Quality of Life Compared to Baseline
Evaluate impact on Quality of Life by using a general questionnaire, a sleep-specific questionnaire and a questionnaire specific for heart failure patients
Time frame: Up to 5 years post-implant
Change in Reverse Remodelling Response as Assessed by Echo Compared to Baseline
Evaluate reverse remodeling response in patients with reduced ejection fraction at baseline
Time frame: 12 months post implant
Incidence of All Cause Mortality and Hospitalizations up to 2 Years After Diagnosis of Central Sleep Apnea
Collect site reported safety data on all patients diagnosed with central sleep apnea and not treated with the remede system
Time frame: Up to 2 years (collected until 6M FU)
Collect Clinical Characteristics and Symptoms of Patients With Central Sleep Apnea
Characterstics and symptoms of patients screened for sleep disordered breathing were not collected and analyzed.
